Can pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Hazy, pale gold, no sparkle, head or lacing. Aroma is salt, tart fruit, dark fruit. Taste is strong tangy, tart fruit, salt. Smooth texture, thin body, soft carbonation and finish as taste. OK.

Can (4/2/24) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Hazy gold with nice sparkle, large head with good retention and splotchy soapy lacing. Aroma is strong grapefruit and pine with hint of late floral and citrus. Taste is initial floral followed by strong bitter pine resin over malt. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Description seems current but experience is old school. Meh.

16 oz. can from the brewery. Aroma is floral and pineapple hints. Flavor follows with mild pine like bitterness. It’s a pretty decent expression of Galaxy hops. Decent for the gravity.
